EXPLANATORY NOTE

    This Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-20371) (the "Registration Statement") to remove from registration all of the securities registered under the Registration Statement. None of such securities were ever offered or sold, and the period during which an offering could have been made has terminated.

    The Registration Statement registered the offer and sale of 2,000,000 shares (the "Warrant Shares") of the Registrant's common stock, $.25 par value, that could have been offered for sale by and for the account of Rainwater-Magellan Holdings, L.P. ("Rainwater Holdings"). On January 25, 1996, Rainwater Holdings obtained the right to purchase the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of a warrant (the "Warrant"), which the Registrant issued to Rainwater Holdings in a private placement.

    The Warrant expired on January 25, 2000 without having been exercised. Accordingly, the Registrant will not issue any of the Warrant Shares to Rainwater Holdings, and Rainwater Holdings will not offer for sale any of the securities registered under the Registration Statement.

    Pursuant to Rule 478(a)(4) under the Securities Act, all persons who signed the Registration Statement conferred upon the Registrant the power to amend the Registration Statement to reduce the amount of securities registered in accordance with an undertaking contained in the Registration Statement. In Item 17 of the Registration Statement, the Registrant undertook to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the registered Securities which remained unsold at the termination of the offering.


SIGNATURE

    Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Columbia, State of Maryland, on the 9th day of February, 2000.
